    Torch is the proof that it's tightly coupled. Why do you even need a repo to show how to do it? Symfony doesn't have this issue. Just look at how much crap you need to wire to use a simple validation component: https://github.com/mattstauffer/Torch/blob/master/components/validation/index.php, it's garbage.
  • someone know a great php framework?

    Other than the big frameworks, you could look at using Slim and other libraries/Symfony components to build your own framework - you could even use some Laravel components too.
